You must include the following: 1)Type of reaction—Describe the general class of reaction (combustion, acid/base, redox, etc.).2)Heat of reaction—Provide the amount of heat that must be added or removed from this reaction at the relevant temperature and whether this reaction is exothermic or endothermic.3)All products, reactants, and catalysts—Include a balanced equation with all states of participants.4)Special considerations—Document the safe operating range of this reaction, safety considerations, and side reactions that may produce unwanted products.5)Summary of other possible reactions—Provide either another reaction to produce the compound or an alternate use and its reaction.arrow_forwardGiven the following reactions: N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO (g) AH = +180.7 kJ 2N20 (g) → O2 (g) + 2N2 (g) AH = -163.2 kJ the enthalpy of reaction for 2N20 (g) → 2NOo (g) + N2 (g) is kJ. -343.9 343.9 -145.7 145.7 O 17.5arrow_forward
- The flame in a torch used to cut metal is produced by burning acetylene (C2H2)(26.04 g/mol) in pure oxygen. Assuming the combustion of 1 mole of acetylene releases 1251 kJ of heat, what mass of acetylene is needed to cut through a piece of steel if the process requires 22.5 × 104 kJ of heat? 2 C2H2(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) ΔH = –2502 kJarrow_forward3. Compound Y has a molar mass of 85.0 g/mol. The combustion of 510.0 g of compound Y causes the temperature of 1165 g of water to rise from 28.5°C to 55.5°C.
